Remit & Misson
A unique public sector remit
Partnerships UK (PUK) is a public private partnership formed in 2000 out of HM Treasury. We are a joint venture that bridges the gap between public and private sectors, with a unique public sector remit:
To support and accelerate the delivery of infrastructure renewal, high quality public services and the efficient use of public assets through better and stronger partnerships between the public and private sectors.
The success of these partnerships is fundamental to the Government's investment and modernisation programme.
Working only for and with the public sector
PUK works across the UK, solely with and for the public sector, in a number of different ways:
- We support individual projects before, during and after procurement
by using our commercial experience and expertise critically to increase the chances of success. - We support government in developing policy and monitoring compliance
by using our market knowledge to ensure that outputs are effective and practical. - We support the delivery of investment in public services
by co-investing and working alongside government departments to enhance the ‘intelligent client function’ in its delivery programmes. - We support the commercialisation of public sector assets – by providing expert resources to the wider markets initiative and investing PUK equity in spin-off organisations.
